Full disclosure, this is really a cooking 101 post. The super simple technique used here also works perfectly for chicken nuggets or strips! I’m a pretty huge fan of almost anything fried. I love sprinkling salt on freshly fried chicken, potatoes, tempura veggies, you get […]
My daughter, Jovie, loves to cook and has recently been attending a weekly cooking class for children. They work on knife skills, using the stove, knowing their way around the kitchen and following recipes. Parents drink wine and watch. Well, we mostly watch but I’ve […]
